storyteller, creative, honest

where we capture your true self.

As your photographer I strive to provide a gallery of the most authentic version of you and your surroundings. Come as you are and leave with a full heart, knowing that the smiles and tender moments you just shared with your loved ones in front of my lens, will be gently frozen in time, to cherish for eternity. 

Let the crazy be crazy, the double chin laughs burst, the kiddos run wild, and the wind blow your hair around. The best moments happen in the unplanned, unthinkable moments. Let me cultivate a space for you to explore the feeling of just ‘being’.

A small town Wisconsin girly who sees life in unusually creative and beautiful ways. I took an interest in photography and absolutely ran with it. I have explored so many different career paths in life, hold an undergraduate degree in communications and arts management, yet found myself opening and running my own creative business. Something just felt perfectly right and I have never looked back. 

I am in my 4th year of self-taught professional photography. I am a mom to the sweetest toddler and absolutely adore this role more than anything. I coach a D1 varsity highschool dance team, a passion I have had since I was a young. I am Capricorn through and through - juggling too many things more often than not but never failing to reach the finish line. When I do things, I do them completely and wholeheartedly, passion is not something I lack. 

I enjoy the small things in life and have learned how precious this is over time. A fresh iced vanilla oatmilk latte, the smell of lilacs in the spring time, salted watermelon, bass fishing, homemade soup, a good sunset, puppy snuggles, breakfast for dinner, a fresh manicure, mid-summer walks, a tall glass of Sauvengion Blanc, waking up to a little voice saying “mama”. 

All of these things that make me feel something completely and effortlessly encourage my creative to shine. Making your life into art is something I will never take for granted. Gifting you precious memories in a forever form fills parts of my soul that I never knew needed filling. When you receive a gallery from me, know you receive a tiny piece of my heart with it. 




Hi There, I'm Krista!

my approach

connection at the center.

I’ve been told I’m too soft, I feel too deeply, and I’m too empathetic. It used to make me feel uneasy, but today those traits give me super powers. Being a creative takes your whole heart. I feel it deeply in my bones, that this ‘little passion’ of mine is meant to be.

I too, cry when you share your life long vows with your loved one at the altar.

I celebrate as you walk down that aisle hand in hand, for the first time ever sharing a last name.

I become entrapped by your family and friend’s speeches as if the words they are reading are from a book I just can’t put down. 

I absorb every teeny tiny detail that makes up your day, ensuring that it is captured the exact way you intended it to be. 

My guidance is authentic and raw. I will always be truthful with you and lead you towards a peaceful, memorable, and unique wedding day experience.

I have a sense of humor most can appreciate and have a special gift of making people who don’t laugh, belly laugh. 

I see things differently, deeply, and poetically - and these are my favorite things about me.
